The Kabbalah Part

The Kabbalah Part That morning, we had delivered to each of the squad, a small cloth bag closed by a cord that was sealed sealed by a kind of which we are especially recommended not to break. It seemed one of the traditional bags in which they often place fine objects to which they are prepared to be delivered as a present to someone to whom for some reason you want to entertain. Personally, I watched my bag, whatever it was, its contents, without doubt, something that had been housed for anyone but me, my name appeared on the side of the seal, and seal attached to an invitation to introduce in a particular place and time. The invitation was attached further instructions, such as we had showed up dressed in white robes, being barefoot, and indicated that once we entered the venue, prior to the event, we would be informed on how to proceed thereafter . With regard to what we received, it was specified as follows: There will be a designated place for you to be in the same, should sit on the table, place the bag on his lap, breaking the seal with both hands, place the bag in your left, proceed to the opening of the cord with his right hand, then gently deposits its content in the middle of the palm of his right hand.

That was all, no other explanation or comment had sent to us by the organizers of this event, the only thing that I personally thought when they talked me catch was that this time attending the event, have a chance of getting into " what you get?, which is to say, that we talk about the esoteric principles, which lie behind as invisible supports of all the teachings that attempt to describe, from the early centuries, the relationship of the gods with human creatures. And I say that I thought to grasp, because my friend Zoar, I had anticipated some time ago that we were on the eve of a meeting in which we could, somehow, to know the guiding principles of the universe, the same principles, which marked the lives of men as Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Zoroaster, Confucius and others. These great teachers had been initiated by the carriers of the great secret, invisible history, which the uninitiated, even having eyes to see and ears to hear, can only perceive the exoteric, which allows them to envision their own desires, but who can not even imagine what is in store for those who, besides being called, have been from the beginning chosen.

"And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables, that seeing they might not see, and hearing they do not understand. ? 8: 10 "And as you can according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages. ? 16: 25 If Zoar was right, if your woman's intuition failed him not, our next meeting, which we glimpse as very important, with the addition of having been invited in their personal capacity, with specific recommendations and amid the greatest secrecy could not be otherwise, when the desired long-awaited, listening to one of the most eminent exponents of Sefer Ietzirah, the sacred Book of Creation, I mean Rabbi Simon bar Iochai. The days have passed, in our opinion, very slowly, we used to meditate, to fast and pray, certainly, when we sense that we approach the threshold of all, a strange sense pervades our being, the notion of being out of every known dimension, where reside the Alpha and the Omega, as if the whole universe could fit on the head of a pin.

When we were on the eve of the desired meeting, all we were getting ready to go, we got this strange message: "The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life freely. ? 22: 17 Our meeting began as it had been announced in the invitation, we duly dressed in white robes, took our places previously assigned, we sat on the floor on placemats and proceeded to dump the contents of the interior of our cloth bags on the palm of your right hand. Once this ceremony, we were invited to enter a large conference room where we would hear our speaker's lecture, the aforementioned Rabbi Simon bar Iochai. The introduction of Raboni Simon: We use the expression, Rabboni Simon, that this has been presented by Agabus, and that is how he prefers to be called the venerable old man who had before us. Today, talk about the Kabbalah, our speaker begins by saying, all that has happened to you since you have been invited to participate in this event, responding to a form of transmit or display that can not be seen or heard by those who do not have been initiated, there is a burning bush in front of each student, indicating the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, between what can be given and what you can not receive.

"Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-priest of Midian, he led the flock across the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And there appeared to him? Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in the midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Moses said, I will now and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn. Lord saw that he was to see, God called to him in the middle of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses! And he answered: Here I am. And he said, Draw not nigh hither; off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. ? 3: 1 to 5 The word Kabbalah is a Hebrew word meaning "that which is received, or coming from somewhere else, or is passed from hand to hand?. Historically, the relationship of God with their children has been directed by two lanes that complement one, it is written, containing the message exoteric, which can be studied and scrutinized by anyone with the good intention of doing so and which is transmitted by a man inspired by God, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the work of the man who receives and writes to communicate to other men.

The other is the language of symbols, the esoteric, "that is received that is from above, which is passed from hand to hand through the" experience? which can not be written or recorded except in the subtle form of what is perceived between the lines and can only be understood by those who are "started? their knowledge through direct experience, "received from hand to hand?. This form of communication is the origin and rationale of the Kabbalah, and is the foundation on which have been erected all secret organizations who worship and serve the Great Architect of the Universe, from the beginning of time, such as appreciate in the course of this story. The tradition, which has been the patriarch Abraham, the author of Sefer Ietzirah, known as "The Book of Creation?, Which recorded the teachings he received at the hands of Melchizedek king of Salem, which was the repository of Keys of the Priesthood, which allowed "open knowledge? the mysteries and secrets of creation, as exposed in the Kabbalah.

All the great prophets were by "laying on of hands? - Hence the term "what is received? can only be received "from hand to hand? - Management in the Holy Priesthood after the order established by the Word of God and these initiates should not necessarily be Jews, there is a wealth of information about the lives of many of these men who had nothing to do with the tribe of the Levites authorized , only holders of the priesthood established by Moses. The text I am going to cite is a clear example of the terminology used by those initiated into the Kabbalah, from reading the "signs? inserted in the text by the author, hide Kabbalistic principles of great importance. "For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave tithes of all, first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and also King of Salem, which is, King of peace, without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, abideth a priest continually.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. Certainly those who are of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes of the people under the law, ie, their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham. But he whose descent is not counted from them, tithes from Abraham and blessed him that had the promises. And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. And here men that die receive tithes, but there, one of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And so to speak, paid tithes in Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. Yeah, well, perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called in the order of Aaron? The priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change in the law, and he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which one served at the altar.

It is evident that our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, from which Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. And this is even more evident when the order of Melchizedek arises another priest, not incorporated under the law of a carnal commandment of the offspring, but by the power of an indestructible life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. It is therefore abrogated the former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect), and the introduction of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And this was not without an oath, because the others certainly were made priests without an oath, but he, with an oath that said, The Lord sware and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Therefore, Jesus made a surety of a better covenant. And the other priests were many in number, because the death could not continue, but this one, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood thus able to save completely those who come for him to God, always lives to intercede for them.

For such an high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, exalted above the heavens, who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people: for this he did once when he offered himself. For the law appoints men high priests which have infirmity, but the word of the oath, after the law, the Son, made perfect forever. ? 7: 1 to 28 I have quoted this passage from Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews gives us a clear example of the teachings of the Kabbalah, is a clear demonstration of esoteric content of the letter of the law, a law written by men mortal to govern the lives of mortal men, a number of provisions that will allow them to look without seeing, hear without listening, and drink without fill. The principles of Kabbalah are subtly stated in the prophetic writings, say that the scriptures describe all man thinks you should know, while signs hidden between the lines, indicating the contents esoteric, for the guidance of those who have been initiated into reading.

Now, under the pupil of an initiate, the signs presented in the following reading: "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of old before his works. I had the principality ever since the beginning, before earth. There were no depths I was brought forth, before there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth had not yet made the earth, nor the fields, nor the first dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens I was there when he set a compass upon the face of the deep: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth, when I was ordering him around, and it was his delight day by day, rejoicing always before him all the time. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his land, and my delights were with the sons of men. Now therefore, listen to me children, and blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

For whoever finds me finds life finds and obtains favor from the LORD. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death. ? 8: 22 - 36 These forms of expression are peculiar of the Kabbalah, the initiate is in reading the text clear indications that allow you to "capture? what is received, which may not be disclosed, ie it can not be available to the masses, it is only perceived through the signs and underlying signs, which, despite being visible to the reader, remain hidden from their understanding. As I'm talking about things that are received from hand to hand, it is obvious that I will not delve into specific explanations, each of you must use deductive capacity, otherwise it would not be such a secret, everything transmits the Kabbalah requires the use of the particular tune the receiver. This is the only way to keep secret what can not be disclosed. Now before I continue, I consider it useful to make some warnings to those who have decided to venture into the investigation of the origins of the Kabbalah.

Who probe the mysteries of the Kabbalah, you should know is at your own risk. An author, who probably was an initiate, named Augustine Calmet wrote a few years before the French Revolution, that "God gave Moses on Mount Sinai was not only the law but also gave an explanation of the law. When he came down and entered his tent, his brother Aaron was to meet him, and sent Moses received the laws of God. After that, Aaron was placed to the right of Moses, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons came, then Moses repeated what he had just said to Aaron. After both had been placed one on the right and the other to the left of Moses, entered the room the seventy elders of Israel who composed the Sanhedrin. Moses restated the same laws that had told Aaron and his sons. After that, they let all the other villagers who so desire ... So Aaron heard four times that Moses received from God on the mountain, Eleazar and Ithamar, heard three times, the seventy elders heard two times, and the people who were present, only once.

And Moses went on to write quickly, laws received from God, the more he gave no explanation of why those laws. The trust was limited to the memory of each one, which had received should not be written. This explanation is called unwritten oral law, to distinguish it from written law. This so-called oral law can not be transmitted, but explained to them during an initiation ceremony in which the Spirit descended upon the disciple. ? Moses, however great, was not the first to receive the Kabbalistic tradition. As noted above, before him, Abraham received at the hands of a mysterious character known only a few references which certainly was such their significance in God's plan, that we are forbidden to a more explicit about it, I mean Melchizedek, the Prince of Peace, King of Salem. This thought comes to cause dizziness and reveals a mystery that surpasses human understanding. There is a passage of the Kabbalah which warns against the danger exists that we lose ourselves in the midst of this dizzying, "You explain from the day that God created man on earth, but not explain what there is over, so there below what has been and what will be? This text seems puzzling, however, is very simple.

What exists and what exists above below, refers to the mystery of the origins of the world. Now, keep in mind that the mystery of the origins of the world is the very mystery of Kabbalah, as it contains everything about the Word of God, the Word with which God created the universe. I reiterate, the mystery of the origins beyond us - those of the Kabbalah like the world - indeed, it is not easy to access them. Before attempting to address, Kabbalah warns the researcher as well as I do. Kabbalah tells two stories that illustrate this symbolic warning. One story says that Simon Ben Zoma, was wandering the world when Rabbi Joshua went by and greeted him twice, Simon simply did not respond. He then said Rabbi Joshua: What happens at the end with you, Ben Zoma, Where have you brought your feet? He answered, I was meditating. Rabbi Joshua said: I call heaven and earth to witness that I will not leave here before you told me where are you, Ben Zoma, said: Behold the source and saw that the Spirit of God walking in the water as primary account, but planned as a bird.

Rabbi Joshua then turned to where his disciples and said: Ben Zoma, is gone. Soon after, as announced, Ben Zoma died. The intrusion into the private domain of the spirit is often, as in this example, a harbinger of death. When someone dreams that he enters a world unknown and inaccessible, or when he contemplates the mystery of the origins, is being called from the beyond. The other story concerns four rabbis who called wise Azzai Ben, Ben Zomah, Aher and Rabbi Akiba. The four had managed to enter the Pardes (the Pardes is Paradise, the source of light and bliss) One gazed and died, another was lost and was never found, the third after losing in such contemplation a trial that went through the fields hewn plantations. Just one of them came in peace and descended in peace. Of the four sages, only one managed to successfully achieve their goal. The initiation experience can lead to death, madness or heresy, if not well managed, if not guided as prescribed by the Word and the ritual without neglecting the warnings that the book describes.

It is much more than just a symbolic Alert: The evils described in the text are real, as evidenced psychosomatic medicine that cares for the physical, bodily, from the psychic. A psychological shock for which we are not prepared can lead to madness, know it well that psychiatrists. Whoever wants to know the Kabbalah, magic practices, its deep mysteries, you must do so at your own risk. There is no need for armed men to defend the spiritual secrets of the tradition, they defend very well for themselves. Now, I'll tell you some experiences which I have been leading, I do, so they can get through the story, the magnitude of the message contained in the Book of Mysteries. As much as the Kabbalah has a venerable antiquity, even going back to the dawn of time, many of its activities have not survived, it has only been possible to keep the flame burning through some historical events that we can actually cataloged notables. I have already spoken of Melchizedek, the initiation of Abraham and Moses, the initiates who have left their indelible mark on the scriptures of all religions of the world, I now speak of what I will call: The Great Synod.

When Jerusalem had just been destroyed by the Roman armies, together with the destruction, was introduced by the invaders, a relentless persecution of all manifestations of religious, cultural, or that would make even a mention of the Kabbalistic tradition. It was strictly forbidden under pain of death, that the Jews could return to mourn over the ruins of what had been their homeland. The whole nation was dispersed in exile and the worst of all evils dire that time in our history, was the loss of oral traditions, either by the martyrdom of the initiated or the dogged pursuit of which were subject to that still remained faithful to the knowledge acquired. As a result of this situation that I describe, the true Kabbalah was forgotten frauds emerged to replace it with witchcraft and superstition. These sorcerers and charlatans occupied, under the protection of the dominant empire, places that once belonged to the teachers started on oral tradition, the preservation of the sacred mysteries of creation. The darkness began to supplant the light, ignorance and heresy swept over the world, I realized that something must be done immediately, before life goes on the persecuted disciples, and together with them, all the flow long cherished knowledge.

I was meditating at length about the steps to be taken, I fasted and prayed, my clothing was sackcloth, I covered my body with ashes, until the answer was revealed by the Spirit of God. Once the divine approval, a creeping free communication to the initiates who were in the Diaspora, the call was clear and urgent, here are the words that went with the aim of reuniting them: "Why, in these days of torment, remain similar to a house that rests on a single column or a man that is based on one leg? It's time to react, otherwise people will lose the little light that made them live. Congreguémonos in this field that there is an area that is now abandoned - this place was where stood the destroyed Temple of Solomon, the one for which all the world started mourning. Come to a fight, armed with advice, wisdom, intelligence, ... Continue
